Not just Futbol but... it's FOOTBALL season too!

So... the Graces have a new sport to focus on this fall!  Little Miss Charlie has been begging us to play flag football.  Not be one of the cheerleaders for flag football but to play with the boys!  So, here she is... our little football star!  Go get 'em Buggy!

In order to prepare for the FNL (Friday Night Lights) season, we signed Charlie up for a 4-day football camp.  Mommy and Ryan cheered on Charlie all week from the sidelines!  We had lots of water and snacks on hand for the hot, hot week to keep our chica fed and hydrated!


Charlie was one of only 2 girls in the whole camp.  Charlie was the only one in her age group. 
Proud of you Charlie girl!

Fitting in with all the boys!

Getting some one-on-one attention from the coaches is always a good thing!

We had a few tears early in the week because she was nervous but certainly loved it by the time we were done!

Ryan, on the other hand, learned first hand what it feels like to "support your sister."  This is a phrase Charlie has had to learn over this past year with Ryan's soccer... now it was Ryan's turn to learn.  



All the practice at FNL Camp prepared Charlie to meet her team for the first official practice with her team, the Nebraska Cornhuskers!

 Coach Graham was teaching the Cornhuskers how to pull flags on the first night!
Friday Nights are going to be a whole new ball game for us... pun attended!  LOL!
GO CHARLIE!!!
